The dust has settled, the results are in – albeit unofficial – and they are available for viewing on the Alabama Secretary of State’s website.

According to Secretary of State Wes Allen’s office, Alabamians cast 2,263,627 ballots, representing a 58.52% statewide turnout. The number does not account for provisional ballots, which will be canvassed Nov. 12.

“Alabama voters received timely unofficial election results as evidence of a safe, secure, and transparent election,” Allen said. “Yesterday’s election was administered with election security as the primary goal. I am proud to say that, because of our dedicated local election officials, that goal was achieved.”

Allen called the state’s probate judges, sheriffs, circuit clerks, and boards of registrars the “backbone of election administration.”

“They work extremely hard. As Alabama’s secretary of state, I will always work with and for our local election officials, not against them,” Allen said. “As a former probate judge, I know firsthand the preparation and hard work that goes into administering fair, secure, and transparent elections.”

He also made sure to thank those who worked the polls.

“Our poll workers work hard from sun up until well after sun down on election day at every polling location across our state,” Allen said. “Without their dedication and the long hours they put in, yesterday’s election would not have been possible.”
